'Dignified yet expressive,.. her voice was in perfect control throughout its wide range. Her singing of 'He was despised' was heartfelt yet restrained - one of many highlights in the performance.'

Charismatic mezzo-soprano Wendy Dawn Thompson has performed with many of the world’s leading national opera companies, including the Royal Opera House, Opera Australia and Portugal’s esteemed Teatro Nacional de São Carlos. The New Zealander’s engaging performances in a wide ranging repertoire make her a favourite with both audiences and critics, whether she’s playing the role of Teresa Salieri in Amadeus at London’s National Theatre, Charlotte in Werther at Vilnius City Opera or Magdalena in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg at the Edinburgh International Festival.
